AIDA 64
AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software which provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. For our purposes today, AIDA64 is able to test the limits of the CPU with a collection of tasks such as AES data encryption and gives us performance based on numbers. These numbers allow us to compare the Intel® 2nd Gen Core i5 2500K to other processors available on the market. The 5 CPU tests provided in AIDA64 are Queen, PhotoWorxx, ZLib, AES, and Hash.

PerformanceTest v7
Another performance benchmark suite in our arsenal is PerformanceTest from PassMark. PassMark PerformanceTest allows you to objectively benchmark a PC using a variety of different speed tests and compare the results to other computers. We will use this suite to show the performance of the i7 2600K processor, Intel SSD, and Kingston memory with the ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 Intel Motherboard. This benchmark will also provide a clear indication of performance increases gained from overclocking later in this article.
